Final Subdivision Plan
Project # LS-2004-019
ISSUE:
Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Final Subdivision Plan for Ingram
Trails and the Ingram Road and Clarcona-Ocoee Road Escrow Agreement?
BACKGROUNDIDISCUSSION:
The Ingram Trails property includes approximately 20.482 acres. The property is located on the
southwest side of Ingram Road near the intersection of Ingram Road and Clarcona-Ocoee Road. The
subject property contains a house, several agricultural buildings as part of a former horse farm
operation, with a mixture of secondary growth trees at the north 1/3 of the property. The West Orange
Trail runs along the south and west boundaries of the subject property. The Future Land Use
designation for the subject property is "Low Density Residential" (up to 4 DU per acre) and the zoning
designation is R-1AA "Single Family Dwelling". The surrounding land to the northeast, on the opposite
side of Ingram Road, is an enclave in unincorporated Orange County zoned A-1 "Citrus Rural District",
and the existing land use is a mixture of residential with minor agriculture activity. To the north and east
is the vacant, tree covered Arden Park Ventures LLC property, zoned R-1AA (LUP pending for Arden
Park residential PUD with approximately 950 single-family and townhouse units). To the south is the
vacant, tree covered 99.93 acre Whispering Pines property, which is in the process of annexation with
proposed Future Land Use designation of "Low Density Residential" and a proposed zoning of
"Residential Planned Unit Development". To the west is the Forest Lake Golf Course.
On May 3, 2005, the City Commission reviewed and approved the Preliminary Subdivision Pla'n for
Ingram Trails. The Final Subdivision Plan as presented is consistent with the original Preliminary
Subdivision Plan as approved.
The proposed subdivision will be developed in one phase and consist of 55 single-family residential lots
with a typical lot size of 9,000 square feet and a minimum living area of 1,400 square feet. Sidewalks for
the approximately 36 students and others will be provided along both sides of all internal streets. A 6-
foot sidewalk will also be installed along the subdivision where it fronts on Ingram Road.
This subdivision will not be gated. There will be a 6-foot brick wall with appropriate landscaping on both
sides of the entrance with the wall extending northward along Ingram Road to the north boundary of the
subdivision and southward along Ingram Road to the southeast tip of the property boundary near the
Clarcona-Ocoee Road/Ingram Road intersection. Both retention ponds will be dry and not required to be
fenced since they will be 5: 1 slope, although the developer does plan to install a 6-foot high decorative
aluminum fence with brick columns on the northeast and south side of the retention pond at the
Clarcona-Ocoee Road / Ingram Road intersection. A park will be provided at the north end of the
subdivision and will include a tot lot and a 250 square foot permanent outdoor meeting space in the form
of a gazebo. Water and wastewater will be provided by Orange County while reclaimed water, solid
waste and police and fire protection will be provided by the City.
As shown in the Final Subdivision Plan, Ingram Trails Subdivision will have one access point from
Ingram Road with a left turn lane into the subdivision. Ingram Road contains a 60-foot wide right-of-way
from Clarcona-Ocoee Road northward to McCormick Road. Accordingly, the developer is not
dedicating any additional land on the west side of Ingram Road for future widening. The developer will,
however, construct the following improvement: Ingram Road shall be improved to a paved 24-foot wide
curb and gutter roadway section as shown on the Final Subdivision Plan. Paving of Ingram Road from
the northern tip of the property to the southern tip of the property was a situation in this project's
Annexation Agreement. Furthermore, the road improvements on Ingram Road and Clarcona-Ocoee
Road have been addressed on the FSP and the attached Development Agreement.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The proposed Final Subdivision Plan of Ingram Trails was reviewed by the Development Review
Committee (DRC) on March 28, 2006. There were a number of issues to be addressed from the City
Attorney, the Engineering Department and from the Planning Division that were identified verbally and in
the written staff comments. All of the issues were discussed and changes to the Plans were agreed
upon. An outstanding comment was discussed from Foley and Lardner as follows: "The response letter
indicates that easement documents are being obtained for the offsite 15' utility easement; the 15'
drainage easement and the 11' trail access easement. These are to be submitted prior to the time of
platting."
When the discussion was finished, the DRC voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Final
Subdivision Plan, subject to the developer making changes specified in the Staff's Comments before the
Planning and Zoning Commission with the one condition regarding the City Attorney comments. The
Staff's last remaining comments were addressed and shown on the plans date stamped "Received April
6, 2006."
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
On April 11, 2006, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a hearing to consider the proposed Final
Subdivision Plan for Ingram Trails. The City Staff and the Applicant of the project answered questions
from the commission regarding the possibility of a connection to the West Orange Trail at the utility
easement provided along the southern portion of the property; tree removal being achieved on a lot-by-
lot basis and to take special care of the significant trees located at the north west corner of the property;
and, the possibility of suggesting an alternative meeting area for the home owners association,
especially during the summer months, due to the meeting area being proposed as an open air pavilion.
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously (9-0) to recommend approval of the Final
Subdivision Plan for Ingram Trails, as date stamped received by the City on April 6, 2006, with the
following: The response letter indicates that easement documents are being obtained for the offsite 15'
utility easement; the 15' drainage easement and the 11' trail access easement. These are to be
submitted prior to the time of platting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the recommendation of the ORC and the Planning and Zoning Commission, Staff respectfully
recommends that the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Ingram Road and
Clarcona-Ocoee Road Escrow Agreement and the Final Subdivision Plan for Ingram Trails, as date
stamped received by the City on April 6, 2006, subject to the following: The response letter indicates
that easement documents are being obtained for the offsite 15' utility easement; the 15' drainage
easement and the 11' trail access easement. These are to be submitted prior to the time of platting.

Escrow Agreement
Page 2
5. Escrow Provisions. The following provisions shall apply with regard to the holding and
disbursement of the Escrow Fund by Escrow Agent:
(a) Holding of the Escrow Fund. Pending disbursement, Escrow Agent is directed
to deposit and hold the Escrow Fund in an interest-bearing money market account maintained by
Escrow Agent with a state or federal chartered bank located in Orlando, Florida. Interest earned on the
Escrow Fund shall accumulate and constitute a part of the Escrow Fund. Interest on the Escrow Fund
shall accrue to the benefit of Cent ex, whose Taxpayer Identification Number is 75-2502012.
(b) Disbursement of the Escrow Fund. Upon completion of the Phase Two
Roadway Improvements and acceptance of such improvements by the governmental agency responsible
for the future maintenance of the Phase Two Roadway Improvements, County shall obtain from the
project engineer (the "Project Engineer") engaged by County for the Phase Two Roadway
Improvements, and County shall deliver to City and Centex, the Project Engineer's written certification
(the "Engineer's Certificate") to City, County and Centex that the Phase Two Roadway Improvements
are complete and setting forth in detail the actual, out-of-pocket hard costs (the "Actual Cost") incurred
by County to install the new road base material and asphalt paving within the existing two lane portion
of the Phase Two Road Segment. Upon receipt of the Engineer's Certificate and, if applicable, the
Maintenance Bond (as defmed below), City, County and Centex shall issue joint written direction to
Escrow Agent instructing Escrow Agent to disburse the Escrow Funds as follows:
(i) Escrow Agent shall pay to County, from the Escrow Funds, the lesser of
the following: (i) the ActualCost, or (ii) the Escrow Funds held by Escrow Agent; and
(ii) The remainder of the Escrow Fund, if any, shall be paid to Centex.
City and County agree that delivery of the Escrow Fund into escrow by Centex when required by this
Agreement shall fully satisfy any and all obligations of Centex with regard to the installation of and
payment for the new road base material and asphalt paving within the existing two lane portion of the
Phase Two Road Segment. In the event the Actual Cost exceeds the Escrow Fund, the shortage shall be
borne and paid by County and neither Centex nor City shall be liable for any such shortage.
(c) Protection of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent is authorized and agrees by
acceptance thereof to hold the Escrow Fund in escrow and to disburse the Escrow Fund in accordance
with this Agreement. Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at the request of City, County and
Centex and for their convenience. Escrow Agent assumes no obligations or responsibilities hereunder
other than as expressly set forth herein. The sole responsibility of Escrow Agent shall be to hold and
disburse the Escrow Fund in accordance with this Agreement and to account to City, County and Centex
for the Escrow Fund. Escrow Agent shall have no obligation or authority to determine the
appropriateness of any joint direction for disbursement of the Escrow Fund. In the event of doubt as to
its duties or liabilities under the provisions of this Agreement, Escrow Agent may, in Escrow Agent's
sole discretion, continue to hold the Escrow Fund until City, County and Centex mutually agree to the
disbursement thereof or until a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine the rights
of the parties thereto, or Escrow Agent may deposit the Escrow Fund with the Clerk of the Circuit Court
of Orange County, Florida and upon notifying City, County and Centex of such action, all liability on
the part of Escrow Agent shall terminate except to account for any money delivered out of escrow. In
the event of any suit wherein Escrow Agent is made a party by virtue of acting as such Escrow Agent
under this Agreement, or in the event of any suit wherein Escrow Agent interpleads the subject matter of
this escrow, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to recover a reasonably attorney's fee and costs incurred,
Escrow Agreement
Page 3
which shall be paid by the non-prevailing party (other than Escrow Agent) in such suit. All parties
agree that Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any party or person whomsoever for any act or omission
on its part undertaken, unless such act or omission shall be grossly negligent or made in bad faith and
willful disregard of this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for assuring the rate of
interest to accrue on the Escrow Fund, for any fluctuation in the rate of interest accruing on the Escrow
Fund, for any failure on the part of the depository bank, for the unavailability of deposit insurance on all
or any portion of the Escrow Fund, for Escrow Agent's compliance with any legal process, order or
judgment of any court, whether or not subsequently vacated or modified, or for any other matter beyond
the direct and exclusive control of Escrow Agent. Centex shall be responsible for payment of Escrow
Agent's fees and expenses for routine handling of escrow reconciliation and disbursement. Centex and,
to the extent permitted by law, City and County, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold
Escrow Agent harmless from and against all loss, claims and expense including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys, paralegal and experts fees, incurred in connection with the performance of Escrow
Agent's duties and the exercise of its rights hereunder and in connection with any litigation involving
the Escrow Fund, except with respect to actions or omissions undertaken or suffered by Escrow Agent
in bad faith and in willful disregard of this Agreement or involving Escrow Agent's gross negligence.
Escrow Agent shall not be precluded from serving as legal counsel to a party to this Agreement in any
dispute arising under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any dispute involving the Escrow
Fund, by virtue of acting also as Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall be permitted to resign, in which
event the parties shall promptly appoint a substitute escrow agent and direct Escrow Agent to transfer
the documents and moneys held by Escrow Agent under this Agreement to the substitute escrow agent.
This section may not be amended without the prior written consent of Escrow Agent.
6. Maintenance Bond. If the Phase Two Roadway Improvements are to be maintained by
the City following completion of such improvements, then the Phase Two Roadway Improvements must
be accepted by the City and the County must provide the City with a two-year maintenance bond (the
"Maintenance Bond") in accordance with the requirements of the City. The cost of such Maintenance
Bond shall be paid by the County from the Escrow Funds to the extent such funds are available therein.
7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between City,
County and Centex relating to the Ingram Road Improvements and it supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous negotiations, understandings and agreements, written or oral, between the said parties
relating to the Ingram Road Improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not be
construed to preclude any requirements imposed by the City on Centex that may be specified on the
approved Final Subdivision Plan for the Centex Development (the name of the Centex Development is
currently "Ingram Trails"), but Centex shall, prior to approval of the Final Subdivision Plan by the City,
have ,the right to withdraw or postpone consideration of its application for Final Subdivision Plan
approval if the City proposes to impose any additional condition or requirement not previously agreed to
by Centex.
8. Modification, This Agreement cannot be altered or amended except by written
instrument executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors, assigns and successors in title.

way be deemed a waiver of the right to do so thereafter.

11. Limitation of Remedies. The parties expressly agree that the consideration, in part, for
each of them entering into this Agreement is the willingness of the other to limit the remedies for all

right to sue for damages of any type for breach of or default under this Agreement by any other party.
